Macrocyclic inhibitors of Norovirus 3CL protease
(Wichita State University, 2016-07)Noroviruses are the leading cause of foodborne illness in the U.S., accounting for >21 million infections per year and resulting in >70000 hospitalizations and nearly 800 deaths. Noroviruses are the primary cause of sporadic ... -
Magnetic topological semimetal phase with electronic correlation enhancement in SmSbTe
(Wiley, 2021-08-24)The ZrSiS family of compounds hosts various exotic quantum phenomena due to the presence of both topological nonsymmorphic Dirac fermions and nodal-line fermions. In this material family, the LnSbTe (Ln = lanthanide) ... -
Maleated soybean oil derivatives as versatile reactive diluents: Synthesis, characterization, and evaluation
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2021-11-02)Four maleated soybean oil (SBO) derivatives were synthesized and used as bio-based reactive diluents (RDs) for alkyd coating systems. The RDs were prepared in a two-step fashion: (a) Maleation of SBO with maleic anhydride ... -
Mammalian and viral protease inhibitors
(Wichita State University, 2010-05)Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is currently the fourth leading cause of death in the US. COPD is a multi-factorial disorder characterized by an oxidant/antioxidant imbalance, inflammation, a protease/antiprotease ... -
Mapping the triplet potential energy surface of 1-methyl-8-nitronaphthalene
(American Chemical Society, 2005-07-22)Spin-unrestricted calculations and time-dependent DFT were used to characterize structure and reactivity of 1-methyl-8-nitronaphthalene (1) in the triplet state. Four hybrid models (B3LYP, PBE0, MPW1K, BHLYP) with significantly ... -
McLafferty rearrangement of peptides and substituent effects on peptide fragmentation: Theoretical and experimental investigation
(Wichita State University, 2009-12)The research presented here details two studies that utilized theoretical analysis and experimentation to further the understading of peptide fragmentation. The first study was the McLafferty rearrangement, which involves ... -
McLafferty-type rearrangement in the collision-induced dissociation of Li+, Na+ and Ag+ cationized esters of N-acetylated peptides
(John Wiley and Sons, 2003-01-01)In this study we investigated the multi-stage collision-induced dissociation (CID) of N-terminally acetylated di-, tri- and tetrapeptides in the form of C-terminal ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl and tert-butyl esters ... -
Mechanism-based inactivation of humam neutrophil elastase
(Wichita State University, 2008-12)Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health problem that affects 16 million people in the US, and is currently the fourth most common cause of death. Although the pathogenesis of COPD is poorly understood, ... -
Mechanism-based inactivation of human leukocyte elastase via an enzyme-induced sulfonamide fragmentation process
(Elsevier, 2004-09-01)We describe herein the design and in vitro biochemical evaluation of a novel class of mechanism-based inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) that inactivate the enzyme via an unprecedented enzyme-induced sulfonamide ... -
Mechanism-based inhibition of human leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G by substituted dihydrouracils
(Elsevier, 1994-11-29)A series of dihydrouracil derivatives has been synthesized and investigated for their in vitro inhibitory activity toward human leukocyte elastase (HLE) and cathepsin G (Cath G). Alkyl [sulfonyl(oxy)] uracils 1-2 were found ... -
